  • Publication number: 20230205256
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes an oscillator circuit, a first divider circuit, a synchronization control circuit, and a peripheral circuit. The oscillator circuit is configured to generate a base frequency clock. The first divider circuit is configured to divide the base frequency clock by a first selectable divisor to generate a divided clock. The synchronization control circuit is configured to generate a synchronization pulse that controls a change of the first selectable divisor in the first divider circuit from a first value to a second value. A pulse width of the synchronization pulse is based on the first value of the first selectable divisor. The peripheral circuit is coupled to the first divider circuit and the synchronization control circuit. The peripheral circuit includes a second divider circuit. The second divider circuit divides the divided clock by a second selectable divisor, and change the second selectable divisor responsive to the synchronization pulse.
